Fairfield fire and police crews to the rescue.
A couple and their pets — a terrier and a cat — were rescued last night from their disabled sailboat that was in danger of capsizing off Penfield Beach last night.
Wind and rough surf were pounding the stricken vessel, causing it to list about 50 feet off shore, fire officials report.
One of the people on board the boat was disabled and needed immediate medical attention, officials said. However, all aboard were removed safely and without incident.
More on the water rescue later on connpost.com and in tomorrow’s Connecticut Post.
